Rear AC/heat in Cargo Van

I've been looking at new Econoline cargo vans but none have had the rear AC/heat option listed in the factory literature.

How this is setup on a cargo van? I know on a wagon there is an overhead ducting system. I dream of having a Sportsmobile-type poptop installed someday and wouldn't want to mess with redoing the AC system. Rear heat and AC are a necessity.

Thanks,
The Captain

Hey Capt, Im pretty sure u can only get rear ac/heat with a conversion van(the conversion co. installs it) or with a factory wagon set up with it in the roof, the only other way would be to add it your self with some sort of conversion or ambulance set-up, see what cloudy has to offer or check junk yards for wrecked conversion van

If you plan on installing a pop top then you may want to have the rear AC/heat unit installed at that time. Otherwise you may be making more work for yourself. Just a thought.

My ride is a 75 Ford with a '90 body that came with rear heat and air built into the driver's side. The heat and air conditioner unit with fan is located just behind the drivers seat with ducts three places front to rear. I believe it is a Club Wagon option (if they still offer those:< )) so you might check with dealer if you can get that option installed on a cargo van. Clubs are window vans, but this unit would work on any van style since it mounts below where the windows would go (if you don't have any).

Thanks. I haven't had any luck finding a cargo van of any sort with the rear heat and air option. Most are strippers, some are rack and bin vans.

There is an "all-around window" option for the cargo van. Not a big deal since I haven't decided on no windows, custom windows, or factory windows yet.

Again, thanks for the help.

Cloudy, thanks. Thinking of a newer van. Besides, an ambulance may give me flashbacks. Spent a lot of time in them.
